ir intention is cannot be known to any but themselves. The losses. We have no means of estimating our losses in killed, wounded, and missing, of the battle of Saturday last. They were principally of the troops composing McDowell's and Fitz John Porter's commands, and are variously estimated at from 3,000 to 5,000. Among the killed were Gen. Hatch, (on the field;) General Buford, (reported;) Captain Smead, of 5th Artillery, (half of whose head was blown off by a cannon ball;) Col. Brown, 28th Indiana; Col. Coulter, 73d Pennsylvania; Capt. Read, of 12th Artillery; and Capt. Weed, 5th Artillery. Among the wounded were Gen. Tower, leg shot off; Gen. Schenck, wrist fractured badly; Gen.

On the 8th of September, 1847, our troops gained a victory in front of Mexico, and on the 14th, (the anniversary of the entry of Jerusalem by Titus, and of the entry of Moscow by Napoleon,) they took possession of the city. It is worthy of remark that the allies landed in the
